Col. Eugene Holmes, head
of the department of military
science, told the Foghorn that
he did not use a 6th Army
briefing urging ROTC cadets
to avoid links with dissident
political groups.
"My advice to the cadets
has always been that if you
want to get a security clearance not to join any organization until you find out about
it," Holmes said.
The 6th Army briefing material was sent to twenty-six
schools in the West, and it
allegedly suggested that cadets should keep away from
radical groups and collect information about them. Use of
the material was optional.
A furor at the University of
Washington was recently
touched off when an unidentified cadet revealed that the
ROTC department there was
beginning an intelligence file
on radical campus groups.
University of Washington
president Chartes E. Ode-
gaard was disturbed by the
secrecy of the matter and
sent a letter of complaint to
Lt. Gen. James Richardson,
Jr., commanding general of
the 6th Army.
The purpose of the briefing
material, Richardson said, is
to warn cadets that they must
undergo a security check and
might be denied a commission
on the basis of affiliation with
subversive groups.
Holmes talked with university president Charles Dullea,
S.J., when he received the
briefing material from the 6th
Army.

that cadets must answer before getting a commission

"The material that the 6th
Army sent out has nothing to
do with spying," Holmes said.
"I don't know of any subversive organization on campus."
Spying and collecting data
on radical groups is not part
of ROTC training, he added.
He said that none of the
USF ROTC instructors had
used the briefing material.
Sweetheart
Dance set
for tonight
Not since the St. Valentine's
Day Massacre has there been
a commemoration of the saint
to equal Alpha Delta Gamma's Sweetheart Dance, set
for tonight from 9 p.m. to 1
a.m.
Nick Jordan, disguised as
Bugs Moran, and his orchestra will play for the bros and
their molls at Mart Fern
Court, which will be decorated
like a garage with spare tires
hanging from the ceiling and
a miniature submachine gun
on each table.
Well-informed sources have
indicated that promptly at
midnight a disgruntled APO
contingent in dress uniform
will surround the revelers and
liquidate Nick and the boys.
The preceding is, of course,
a rumor and has not yet been
confirmed.
By Brandy Eshleman
Foghorn Staff Writer
The workings of the Core
Curriculum Committee, and
in particular the preliminary
report filed by chariman Edward Stackpoole, S.J., last
week, have sparked great interest among the faculty.
During the past week, the
Foghorn has been sounding
out the variety of opinions on
the core curriculum.
Dr. John Gleason, associate
professor of English, said that
he approves of everything he
has heard from the committee thus far.
"It is most important," he
said, "to key the philosophy
and theology requirements as
much as possible to the individual student's major."
Dr. James Haag of the physics department elaborated on
the same subject.
"I would like to see a student being able to select core
curriculum courses which are
directly applicable io his major, even in his lower division
years. An incoming freshman
could take a course in the
philosophy of science or the
theological implications of science very profitably," he said.
The faculty seems to be almost universal in its condemnation of political science 140
and the ROTC program.
"It's about time," said
James Straukamp, S.J., assistant professor of history,
"that the god of peace won
out over the god of war."
"I'd like to see some place
in this university," said Albert Zabala, chairman of the
theology department, "for the
fine arts and music beyond
the present appreciation
courses. It would make it a
lot easier to teach a theology
course with a good art department."
"The thing which they
might have carried further
is theology," said Warren
Coffey, associate professor of
English. "They might have
eliminated it completely as a
compulsory course. I also
think that they might have
paid more attention to the
fact that this is now a co-ed
university."
He felt that when an institution such as USF admits
women, there should be more
adaptation than the hiring of
a Dean of Women and the construction of a women's dorm.
Among the science departments the major complaint
was that there is too much
structure in the present curriculum.
"The program presented by
Father Stackpoole is too rigid
and inflexible," said Dr. Mel
Gorman, a committee member from the department of
chemistry. "The breadth of
a liberal education is capable
of being met only with great
difficulty and in this program
there is not enough room for
electives for a student to get
a broad education."
He recommended that the
philosophy and theology re
quirements be dropped to nine
units apiece.
"I don't consider these two
subjects unimportant," he
said, "but too much of one
subject will prevent a student
from obtaining a wider view."
"The fewer requirements
the better," added Dr. Haag.
"I believe, as does Dr. Cunningham, in the philosophy of
change. This whole thing
should be flexible enough so
that we can change it every
two years without too much
difficulty."
Dr. Haag also said that he
would like to have a department of computer science^
which could confer a master's \
degree.
Dr. Donald Brandon, chairman of the department of political science, declined to
make any comment on the
core curriculum changes.
"It would be premature for
me to say anything at this
stage in the game because
nothing has been definitely
decided yet," he said.
Albert Smith, S.J., professor of philosophy and a member of the committee, elaborated by observing that the
present report was not a final
statement of the committee.
"No major decisions have
been made as yet," he said.
Father Stackpoole, chairman of the Core Curriculum
Committee, was unavailable
for comment as to the progress of the committee or the
approximate date for the final
report.
Projected parking limit nixed
By Johanna Smith
Foghorn Managing Editor
A proposed one-hour parking limit on the University
Terrace was dropped last Friday at the weekly meeting of
the Department of Public
Works in City Hall.
After hearing severe arguments for and against the limit, R. Brooks Larter, assistant director of the department, announced he would
recommend to the director
that the matter not be put
before the Board of Supervisors, the next step in such
a procedure.
The meeting was attended
by about twenty residents of
the affected area and several
representatives of the university.
William Marconi, building"
inspector, said the limit would
be imposed from 7 a.m. to 6
p.m., except on Sundays and
holidays, on the Terrace
streets between Parker and
Masonic.
He added that a survey of
one-third of the Terrace residents conducted on Monday
February 6 by the traffic department, which proposed the
limit, revealed that 70 per
cent of those interviewed favored the restriction.
He also pointed out that
USF now provides 400 parking places and plans to add
another 200 spaces in September 1968 by converting part
of the St. Ignatius football
field into a parking lot.
Bruce Goldman, a Terrace
resident, protested that a
year and a half was too long
to wait and that the limit
euld be established at least
I the lot was built,
e was informed that the
it would be almost impos-
le to remove once it was
j; William Spohn, assistant US
attorney and organizer of the
protest against a one - hour
limit, presented his objections.
He said that a one-day survey was not much of a basis
for a pro-limit argument, particularly since those interviewed mistakenly thought
they were endorsing a two-
hour restriction which would
affect only students.
Stressing these misapprehensions, Spohn added that
the limit would apply throughout the year, during the summer as well as the academic
year.
He wound up his protest by
observing that, in other limited areas, particularly
around SF State, the concensus was "the cure is worse
than the disease."
Leo Murphy, another resident, gave Larter several photographs of his neighborhood,
taken on a Saturday, which
showed very few cars.
He said Saturday and Sunday should be excluded from
any limit because there is no
parking problem on weekends
and after 4 p.m. during the
week.
Mrs. Dorothy Franklin, a
resident, said that a policeman should patrol the Terrace every morning to ticket
cars illegally parked across
driveways and crosswalks.
Larter agreed that this
move would be helpful and
asked how many people favored a one-hour limit. The
vote was 10-6 against.
Larter said he would recommend that the matter be
dropped, but Mrs. Franklin
said this would be a mistake.
She said that the parking
problem would get worse as
the university continued to
expand, citing the proposed
nursing building as an example.
Timothy McDonnell, S. J.,
vice - president for development, countered that the
building would not increase
enrollment because of the
freeze on admissions begun
two years ago.
